Tropical sun email problem

TheMoneypit

Just in case anybody has received a strange email with title

Win 1 month's supply of Coconut Water

I spotted this on facebook. I've been copied on a number of peoples replies to this email askiing whats it all about thus passing on their details.

"Guys, if you get this email from Tropical Sun - don't hit reply! Everyone's personal details are automatically sending out to everyone on the original email list! I'm sure they'll send out an apology as soon as they realise."

I love the reply from someone saying it's against data protection but then saying here's my mobile number as she forgot to add it on the form!

Sorry you just bet me to it.
They are sending out full names and addresses.
Most worrying.

On their Facebook page now -

Dear Sun lovers,

As some of you will be aware, today we’ve had an issue with an email competition we sent out earlier today to win some Coconut Water.

Due to a technical issue with the email account and some people have been replying to this account directly instead of clicking on the link which has caused unforeseen problems.

We have now closed this email account down and are looking into why this has happened and apologise for any distress this may have caused.

Regards,
Tropical Sun
